Encouraged by the ESFRI committee, the European PRACE Initiative is going to create a world-leading European tier-0 supercomputer infrastructure. In Germany, the BMBF formed the Gauss Centre for Supercom- puting, the largest national association for supercomputing in Europe. The Gauss Centre is the German partner in PRACE. With its new Blue Gene/P system, the J¨ulich supercomputing centre has realized its vision of a dual system complex and is heading for Petaflop/s already in 2009. In the framework of the JuRoPA-Project, in cooperation with German and European industrial partners, the JSC will build a next generation general purpose system with very good price-performance ratio and energy efficiency.

All questions on rights and licensing should be addressed to [email protected] Financing the future of supercomputing Foreword “Disruptive technologies are key enablers for economic growth and competitiveness” The Digital Economy is developing rapidly worldwide. It is the single most important driver of innovation, competitiveness and growth. Digital innovations such as supercomputing are an essential driver of innovation and spur the adoption of digital innovations across multiple industries and small and medium-sized enterprises, fostering economic growth and competitiveness. Applying the power of supercomputing combined with Artificial Intelligence and the use of Big Data provide unprecedented opportunities for transforming businesses, public services and societies. High Performance Computers (HPC), also known as supercomputers, are making a difference in the everyday life of citizens by helping to address the critical societal challenges of our times, such as public health, climate change and natural disasters. For instance, the use of supercomputers can help researchers and entrepreneurs to solve complex issues, such as developing new treatments based on personalised medicine, or better predicting and managing the effects of natural disasters through the use of advanced computer simulations.

Las ideas no duran mucho. Hay que hacer algo con ellas. Santiago Ramon´ y Cajal A todos los que he desatendido durante la carrera Sinopsis El continuo aumento de las necesidades de computo´ de la comunidad cient´ıfica esta´ ocasionando la proliferacion´ de centros de supercomputacion´ a lo largo del mundo. Desde hace unos anos˜ la tendencia es ha utilizar una arquitectura de cluster para la construccion´ de estas maquinas.´ Precisamente la UPM cuenta con uno de estos computadores. Se trata de Magerit, el segundo super- computador mas´ potente de Espana˜ que se encuentra alojado en el CeSViMa y que alcanza los 16 TFLOPS. Los nodos de computo´ de un sistema de estas caracter´ısticas trabajan exhaustivamente casi sin des- canso, por eso es frecuente que vayan sufriendo problemas. Las tareas de reparacion´ de nodos consumen mucho tiempo al equipo de administracion´ de CeSViMa y no existen herramientas que agilicen estas labo- res. El objetivo de este proyecto es dotar de cierta autonom´ıa a Magerit para que pueda recuperar de forma automatica´ sus nodos de computo´ sin la intervencion´ de los administradores del sistema.

  • Potential Use of Supercomputing Resources in Europe and in Spain for CMS (Including Some Technical Points)
    Potential use of supercomputing resources in Europe and in Spain for CMS (including some technical points) Presented by Jesus Marco (IFCA, CSIC-UC, Santander, Spain) on behalf of IFCA team, And with tech contribution from Jorge Gomes, LIP, Lisbon, Portugal @ CMS First Open Resources Computing Workshop CERN 21 June 2016 Some background… The supercomputing node at the University of Cantabria, named ALTAMIRA, is hosted and operated by IFCA It is not large (2500 cores) but it is included in the Supercomputing Network in Spain, that has quite significant resources (more than 80K cores) that will be doubled along next year. As these resources are granted on the basis of the scientific interest of the request, CMS teams in Spain could directly benefit of their use "for free". However the request needs to show the need for HPC resources (multicore architecture in CMS case) and the possibility to run in a “existing" framework (OS, username/passw. access, etc.). My presentation aims to cover these points and ask for experience from other teams/experts on exploiting this possibility. The EU PRACE initiative joins many different supercomputers at different levels (Tier-0, Tier-1) and could also be explored. Evolution of the Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES) See https://www.bsc.es/marenostrum-support-services/res Initially (2005) most of the resources were based on IBM-Power +Myrinet Since 2012 many of the centers evolved to use Intel x86 + Infiniband • First one was ALTAMIRA@UC: – 2.500 Xeon E5 cores with FDR IB to 1PB on GPFS • Next: MareNostrum
